Photos: Lake Titicaca, Peru: Floating Islands del Uros
Wednesday, March 1st, 2006
Above is one of the tourist boats made out of the reeds.
One of the things I did was to pay homage to the gods of the lake. I had a stash of coins from all the countries that I had visited. It was actually adding too much weight to the pack so it didn“t make the cut. I scattered them throughout the lake. Maybe a hundred years from now someone will find a Guyana coin and wonder how in the hell that got there.

A couple from leaving the port. The green was a pretty carpeted layer of vegetation. I know that it means pollution, but it looked cool. If I were a drinker I would have tried to run across the stuff.

The rest are of a few of the islands we met. They were these small islands made out of reeds. Each housed about ten families and were totally seperate from other islands. They each had a different name as well.

And that my folks is the end of Peru. I still might go back and edit the MP photos, but no promises.
